Hey Clark;

You can't be serious here...............did you really all of the mainstream media hype and this video when these 3 books came up for sale:

 

Definitely not as much hype as was done for the Action 1 video, but still need to go and take a shower now after watching this video again.     

Although I will admit that anybody can do a much better hype job on their auctions when compared to CC who seemingly expects the books in virtually all cases to sell themselves.  That is, no individual write-ups for virtually all of their books which you see with all of the other auction sites.  Not only that, but their new revamped webiste now expects their consigned auction books to also help them to sell all of the other copies that they have stashed away in their back room inventory at the same time.  So, if you are thinking of bidding on their consigned copy of Hulk 181, no worries as they also have links to the other 16 copies that they have in their inventory or if you want a JLA 8 or was it a JLA 9, they have links to another 5 copies in there for you to choose from.    

Oh, their consignors are so lucky to have CC facilitate comparison shopping to potential bidders on their books for them right at the click of a button.  

 

Hey Lou, thanks for digging up the video. Is that Darren

Hey Lou, thanks for the link. No, I’d never seen it before.
 

Do we know if Darren Adams is a boardie?

I'm scared to wonder what Darren paid for the AS8 and Sensation 1 when they were raw! Probably a lot less than they went for lol.

Hey Clark;

Well, if you like Darren so much and want to have a bromance with him, here's his video for the Action 1 just in case you also haven't seen this one yet:

Did he really say the Long Ranger right at the start?  Maybe he's trying to also give us the Rifleman 10 hype at the same time.  

Boy, these 2 guys really did a big sales job on the Action 1 here, but appears to have left out a couple of critical gaps (i.e. around the 2:00 to 2:30 mark) in their timeline breakdown of the book in their video.  

Now, I really have to go take another shower again after watching this video here, and a much longer one this time.

I'm finding the prices are very low, both on the books I consigned and the ones I'm bidding on.  I guess that evens out?

 

  But you can never count CC out.  That extended bidding can double the gavel price.  Good luck!

Yes, sincerely hope you are doing alright with your consignments by the time it's all said and done.  

Yes, with the CC auction format, there have definitely been a lot of action in their extended bidding sessions since some bidders tend to wait until the end to put in their bids.  This was definitely the case in past auctions, but from what I am seeing on this go round here, there doesn't appear to be anywhere close to the same level of activity on the lots that I was watching.  All I can say is that it's probably not the best idea from a scheduling point of view to have your auction running at the exat same time that CL has their Featured Auction going.  Especially when your offerings on this go round here seems to pale a bit in comparison to what the competition is offering. 

Almost makes me wonder if CL is doing this on purpose by scheduling it this way in an attempt to try to take out their competition and eating their lunch at the same time.

by far the nicest prerobin offered in this auction. glad it went to a boardie.

 

If you are talkin about nice, all I can say is that this copy of 'Tec 37 sure presents very nicely relative to its assigned CGC grade of only a Good 2.0 grade.  

Especially when you compared it to that much less attractive looking, but only slightly lower graded CGC 1.5 condition copy of 'Tec 29 that you posted afterwards.

It keeps dropping in price with each auction it finds itself in.

https://www.comicconnect.com/item/889484

2016 on CC: $30,029

2018 on CC: $16,987

Started out as a 1.0

Sometimes I really do love this hobby!

On the other hand, since it's been sitting in this same CGC 1.5 holder during all of these sales iterations listed here, maybe it's a sign of a decreasing valuation or at least a plateauing in the once red hot pre-Robin 'Tec market?

I have a hard time believing that. I think it’s an ugly book and people are pickier. Look at the beautiful Tec 29 5.0 over in heritage 

it’s hard to go back to the plow after seeing the lights of Paree

+1

that book needs to be restored, it's an eyesore

but if preRobins are in fact cooling, that is good news for those who collect

I was wondering the same thing? but it doesn't matter, there is no perfect plan in selling a few comics.

I'm not doing as badly as I thought.  They are not high, some prices are lower than expected, but they forgot to list 2 books. I had figured out my semi hopeful ending on the basis of 21 books, they only listed 19. I see 2 are in "unsold". Hopefully they will explain that one of these days. No answer so far.

Won the book I was attacking tonight went a bit higher than expected in fact got bid up exactly to my max can’t say that’s a first haha I would hold off until extended bidding if I could to put in my max but can’t always be there for live and this was one of those times and I thought my max would take it easily but someone else wanted it too apparently. Either way i’m stoked and now a Proud owner of a Berk Our Flag book which I couldn’t be happier with. I now have all 3 issues where our Red, White, and Blue hero appears on the cover of this short run!! Prices seem pretty healthy from the stuff i watch.

What happened with the Sensation Comics 1 ?

Didn't meet reserve. Shocker.

Listed alongside the AS8 with a fixed price.

[atomised]

got one book in the auction today.  Assuming I was bidding against you @Comcav?

[N e r V]

Anyone ever do a bid retraction? I was trying to enter a $201.00 bid for a book and hit $20,100.00...

Same thing happened to me, but for a lot more. You will have to beg for forgiveness if it's Ha. but CC actually called and said they thought I made a mistake, knowing my bidding patterns. It still took a while to clear up.

[N e r V]

Comicconnect. I emailed them tonight. Will try calling tomorrow.

Not paying 20k for a $200. book...lol
